13 Feb Brenda Maria was born in 1930 and she lived on a small Italian Island called
17 Feb Pamela Ponza. As a child she loved being surrounded by the sea and she swam
19 Feb Elaine in the clear blue waters every day. Maria’s mother Anna was a
wonderful cook but Maria was only allowed to learn by watching.
22 Feb Avis
Food shortages due to the war meant that nothing could be wasted, so
it wasn’t until Maria came to Australia in 1952 that she learned to
weave her magic in the kitchen.
She has an absolute passion for food and her favourite dishes include
Roast Pork, BBQ meats, Seafood Marinara and simple but classic
Tomato based sauces and of course pasta! Vince, Maria’s husband,
shares her love of fine food and they can often be heard in the dining
room discussing the exceptionally flavourful dishes from their Italian
Cuisine. Please find one of Maria’s favourite recipes for you to try…
